Otherwise, how could the daughter of an ordinary convenience store owner—someone who had only been away working for a year—suddenly have so many valuable items in her hands?

They suspected that Xiao Yingchun still had many more valuable goods, and the thought of it made them restless with desire.

But they were also worried that the origins of her goods might be questionable. If she ever got into legal trouble, it could drag them down as well.

Dai Hengxin decided it was time to lay the cards on the table.

Naturally, Xiao Yingchun didn’t refuse Dai Hengxin’s invitation.

At the moment, when it came to selling antiques, he was her only connection.

After agreeing on a time and place, Xiao Yingchun arrived at KFC ahead of schedule.

-KFC

There weren’t many people at KFC in the morning. The two of them found an empty corner to sit in, and Dai Hengxin lowered his voice as he voiced his concerns.

“You should still have quite a lot of items you’re planning to sell, right?”

Xiao Yingchun thought about it. She only had a little over two hundred thousand in cash left. If she wanted to keep supplying Fu Chen’an, she would definitely need to sell more gold and silver ingots or other items.

So she nodded.

Dai Hengxin glanced around and, like someone afraid of being overheard, spoke in a hushed tone. “If you keep selling these things in large quantities domestically, problems are bound to arise over time.

When that happens, the relevant authorities will come asking where all these items came from. Will you be able to explain it clearly?”

Xiao Yingchun: “……”

Of course she wouldn’t be able to.

Her expression turned serious. “So you’re not taking them anymore?”

Dai Hengxin waved his hand. “In the short term, it’s definitely fine. But if you keep selling like this for a long time, I’ll be honest—I’m a bit worried.”

Xiao Yingchun thought about it. Dai Hengxin wouldn’t have gone out of his way to meet her just to refuse her goods. What was he really getting at?

Meeting the clear confusion in Xiao Yingchun’s eyes, Dai Hengxin finally revealed his idea. “What I mean is, how about we partner up and start an art auction company?”

He went on explaining for quite a while, saying that an auction company would allow many of these items to go through legitimate channels. That way, Xiao Yingchun could sell her goods openly and without risk.

Of course, there was another route—selling the items overseas.

But how would they get these items out of the country?

Smuggling?

That was illegal.

Yet after hearing Dai Hengxin’s words, it felt as though a brand-new door had been opened in Xiao Yingchun’s mind. Right—these things could be sold abroad!

Others couldn’t do it, but she could.

Because she had the Cross-Time Supermarket System, which could store antiques and cultural relics…

Still, partnering with Dai Hengxin to start a company was also an option.

After thinking it through, Xiao Yingchun spoke seriously. “First, I don’t know how to run a company. Second, I don’t understand how this kind of company operates. If we cooperate, how exactly would we do it?”

Hearing that Xiao Yingchun was open to the idea, Dai Hengxin was instantly delighted. “I’ll handle all of that. You just need to be responsible for providing the items.”

What followed was a discussion of profit sharing.

Dai Hengxin’s idea was simple. “The proceeds from the auction—aside from the standard commission that goes to the auction house—will all belong to you.”

In other words, Xiao Yingchun’s antiques would be treated as though they came from ordinary third-party consignors. Whatever amount would normally go to an outside seller would go to her.

“As for the auction company’s profits,” he added, “those will be divided according to our respective shares and the company’s future earnings.”

However, Dai Hengxin raised another point. “If we want to grow the company, my own resources aren’t enough. We’ll need to bring in others.

Not for their money, but for their connections—and the backing behind them.”

Xiao Yingchun nodded. “Alright. But they have to be trustworthy.”

“That won’t be a problem…”
